What exactly are we fighting for, people? I mean, really, what are

[Skidmore]

we still here for? The hurrieder we go, it seems like the behinder we get? All of this and we have candidates who will not commit to ending a bloody war. We have leaders who apparently think that corruption and criminality does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. War is peace. Rich is poor. Freedom is chains. Big Brother sees and hears you. And its okay to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Really, why are we still here?

1. you mean we're actually happy & content but that we just don't know it?

4. I am aware and certainly not happy

This country is not even close to what I remember it to be . Everything has fallen apart and many times I wonder what I'm still doing here .

I lost hope of anything changing in my lifetime and trying to hold onto the past just does not cut it for me , that does not make me feel better .

5. the loss of hope among the American citizenry is the republican gift...

that keeps on giving: Vote 08, like the future of your family depended upon it cause it does, it did, it always has

2. Marianne Faithfull asks the same thing

7. Hey, thanks for that.

It's an old war, not even a cold war.

3. 911 changed everything. Without 911 Bush could have gotten

away with none of this. The Democrats are afraid to pull the troops out of Iraq because if they do and there is another terrorist attack Bush will say "See, I told you so". They are afraid to impeach him because if they do and there is another attack they will be seen as interfering with his ability to "fight the terrorists". Unless and until someone can implicate the Administration and the neocons in the planning or acquiescence in the 911 attack the Democrats will be essentially powerless to change anything.
Guiliani wouldn't even be running for President without 911. The only reason the Republicans are doing so poorly in the polls now is that the administration has been a total failure in fighting terrorism. They haven't a clue who perpetrated the Anthrax attacks a week after 911, they haven't a clue where Bin Laden is, the Taliban is on the resurgence in Afghanistan, etc.

6. Don't ask me, I don't give a Frack. Next stop is damn Iraq

or actually

Don't ask me I don't have a plan
Next goof is bomb Iran

and it's 5,6,7,8

8. certainly looks like it .

I often wonder if it's come to if and not when they bomb Iran . I hear all sorts of ideas , even liberal hosts change from it won't happen to it will happen .

I just can't imagine this BCF giving up power and all their 30 odd years of plans just because of an election . We just had an election in NOV which now seems years ago and still nothing has changed other than a few repugs going down the drain . Many have left the whitehouse cabinet only to be replaced by what , more of the same .

911 gave them everything they wanted .
